There were two types of products discussed during Computex. The big one was AI and the insane builds required to run those workloads followed by CAMM2 memory modules. Just about every memory vendor had modules on display and just about every motherboard maker has boards to support them however, MSI was the only one sharing their vision.
When I established Ninjalane and later Hardware Asylum the goal was to feature high-end and hard to get computer hardware. Over the years this has served me well and allowed me the chance to deep dive into some of the best motherboard designs on the planet. However, that never made me rich which seems to be a trend with the products on display by Gigabyte during Computex
I remember when Cloud Computing was a popular subject at Computex there were cloud specific motherboards available from ASRock and the same was true during the Cryptomining craze. As a result it would seem out of character if ASRock was to skip AI and, you would be right.
SilverStone is hitting the Enterprise AI segment rather heavily during Computex 2024 with a number of new chassis designs to support multiple graphics cards which can be rack mounted in a data center or standalone as a private on-premise AI compute server.
Much like with CES there are a few companies that buck the trend and hold their presentations at alternative locations. Corsair was one of them opting to have a remote display showing off the latest in gaming gear, XLR audio interfaces, teleprompters, fans and keyboards.
One of the highlights of the visit was checking out the new Raven RVZ02 Prototype. This case is designed to be smaller than the Raven RVZ01 with better cooling and more efficient layout.
The new S-Box is a new case that takes the S-Frame bended metal concept and converts it into a usable square chassis.
One of the last vendors I met with during CES 2015 was CyberPowerPC. Cyberpower was in the news quite often during the show because of this, the Trinity gaming computer.
I quickly popped in to see what Thermaltake was doing and unlike in previous years there were basically two things on display. Big ass cases and watercooling stuff.
CES is a good time for EVGA. For instance last year they announced the GTX 780 Ti Classified Kingpin edition video card and the year before was dominated by the X79 Dark.
Last year during CES we looked at a few products from Diamond Multimedia including the famed GC1000 HD Game Console Capture Device which has been upgraded for 2015.
